Vote: The Seattle Magazine 2019 Best Restaurants Readers’ Poll
Cast your votes for the best restaurants, coffee shops, bars and more
By Chelsea Lin April 23, 2019
Welcome to Seattle magazine’s 2019 best restaurants readers’ poll!
Every year, many hours—and many more calories—are spent calculating the best restaurants of the year in anticipation of our September issue. Our editorial team takes great pride in offering a balanced, carefully considered, authoritative take on our local dining scene. But we also really love to hear the opinions of our readers. After all, food—like any great art form—is ultimately subjective. That’s where your votes come in!
Since we know it’s sometimes hard to think of your favorite place in 56 DIFFEERENT CATEGORIES, we’ve taken some of the guesswork out and given you a list of tried-and-true favorites to start with. These lists aren’t arbitrary: It takes a group of educated eaters and lots of deliberation. But we are human, so let us know when we’ve left out your favorite place by adding it into the write-in space below.
Please share with your friends and followers, vote by May 24 and pick up our best restaurants issue on stands in September!
Please note categories with insufficient votes will not be published.

This spring’s run, April 19-May 2, brings curated menus priced at $20, $35, $50, and $65 to restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, and pop-ups across…
Magical Mollusks
Oysters are one the Northwest’s favorite harvests. The hardworking farmers behind this bounty share a deep appreciation for its source and a personal connection to the processes that yield our food.
It’s hard to describe people who are undeniably connected to the land—often, it’s about a feeling they transmit. Grounded, knowledgeable about their work, and passionate in their care for nature’s resources. Oyster farmers along Hood Canal, like Matthew Macias, give off a certain vibe, as though they have some secret to life that I don’t…
Restaurant Roundup: National Attention and a Sweet Detour
Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City.
Just south of Bellingham, the northbound lanes of I-5 have been closed for weeks following a massive landslide, pushing travelers onto Chuckanut Drive (SR 11).
